Home is the debut album from South Korean vocalist Song Yi Jeon and Brazilian guitarist Vinicius Gomes, two virtuosic musicians who come from completely different backgrounds and life experiences, yet speak one language: jazz. The two instantly connected while living in Switzerland. They quickly discovered a similar aesthetic sense that emphasizes interaction, storytelling, and communication, and common influences that include Brazilian choro music, Hermeto Pascoal, Norma Winstone, and contemporary jazz. But their biggest influence is family and home. As the record came together, both artists penned pieces inspired by significant family members and developed unique interpretations of songs by composers that reflect their diverse backgrounds: Carlos Aguirre, Dominguinhos, Keith Jarrett, and Jimmy Rowles. The music is infectious with mostly wordless vocals and intricate guitar playing, the duo's sound is a rich interaction of modern jazz harmony, fascinating rhythms, and singable melodies that instantly catch your ear.
